👋 Goodbye Again




We've jet-setted off again, back to the Canadian banana belt. With balmy temps this week, we aren’t suffering from temperature change, but how I wish our brains would fly on the same flight!

We’ve said goodbye again. While I recognize that the people who check-out our photos are looking to see exotic sights of a travelogue type, as I look over our photos, what I see is more like a family photo album. We collect pictures of the people we spend time with. And while each has an interesting story that we get to pop into briefly - most of what we do and see is just normal living. Of course, there's a few quirky people, maybe, but then they likely call Larry quirky too! 


Goodbye Kids!

Class time with research for projects, or English class, or chit-chatting, or the 20 minute game-time wraps up. 


We took 4 of our boys to enrol in an English class 
in the Colonia with JuanCho so they can continue 
to study when we're not here.

Adios House Visits

Sometimes together, or sometimes just me solo, we have had lots of opportunities to climb to see the best view on the island.


While the view is spectacular, it's the visit that makes the day.

I finally got in to meet Mayra's new baby. Mayra has her hands full with Jaydee, her 3 month old, and Maria, 14 months old! I've had a few visits up to visit Leti and Bayron's extended family - I think it is 12 kids and 12 adults in two houses. And grandma is visiting for a few months. The last visit with Geyzi and Greicy was in our house. They have nimbler knees than we do!

Hasta Luego Son Rise Church 

Hasta luego - see you later. Dios bendigo ustedes.


Welcome from Pastor Ivan and Pastor Saul. Preparation for Wednesday evening fellowship after church.

On a Wing and a Prayer



You Can Do It!

The kids started school at the beginning of February and will continue through until November. We know you will do well, you guys!

See you in August, Beach Sundays

Left Behinds

Left behind to watch over the property is Hunter. He is well-cared for by Marciel who also takes care of the other living things on the property including flowers, our lawn, our tomatoes that are just about ready (!), and the banana trees in various stages of providing bananas.     Thanks, Marciel!

Views from the Perch

Our house in Roatan has three levels. While compact inside, we have decks on each level for greeting visitors, eating, and just relaxing. From the perch, we have an excellent view of the ocean. 


Until Next Time.....
